The Art of Appearing We'll.

There is nothing whatever upon which a woman expends more thought, time and expense than in her endeavor to appear well in public. There is nothing more at tractive in the world than a healthy glow of cheek. a well rounded form aud an elastic step in a wo- man. Ornaments aud decorations look out of place on a person of pale face, fragile form and languid movement. These things may GOV CT some defects, but there is all ab- sence of ''the eternal fitness of things" There are hundreds of ladies whose lives are ebbing slow iy away, and leaving them "wrecks of then former selves," who might be saved from this diving deathn by the use of that invigorating ton. ic, Switt's Specific. There are a number of the finest looking ladies in Atlanta to-day who a few years ago were perfect physical wrecks, but whose health has been restored by this wonderful remedy. No one who looks upon their magnifi cent forms and cheerful counten- ances to day would suspicion that these were the parties who few months ago were praying to die; but it is SD. They are ready to admit that Swift's Specific saved their lives and saved them from untold suffering.

Cowboy Hospitality :

One hot attcrr oon. as we were approaching Big Dry creek, Il COW , boy suddenly rode il sight on the crest of q ridge. and came down the slope towards us at a swing ! ing gallop. He sat as bronze statue. and had he been lashed to his horse like another Mazeppa he could not have sat more perfectly Imo,ionIess in his saddle. In. Stinctivcly we strengthened up our tired shoulders, and sat erect also. 1 E idcntly he wanted to speak to Iua. So we went forward to meet him, wondering the while whether 1 his manner would be agreeable or Irritating.
 After we had civilly exchanged how -do-you. dos, he inquired If we had seen any horses since morn ing. He had lost some, and up 10 that lime, 2 o'clock, had ridden twelfy yiive milesin search ot them. No. we bad not seen any horses. So we fell to asking questions about trails, creeks and water holes. We were getting a deal of information, when he suddenly ex- claimed:
 "Look here, fellers! The best thing you can do is to pull up at our ranch and put up for awhile. It's ouly twelve miles from here. Take the trail that turns to the left, about three yJeil& ahead. You won't find anybody al home the boys are all off on the round up, you know-just go right in and make yourself at home"
 "Isn't the door lock ed!'
 "Thundcr, no! we never lock doors in this country. Somebody might come along hungry, and want to get in to get some grub or stay all night. If cowboy wanted to get in and found the door locked, he'd just simply break it down"
 "Aren't you afraid of thievesp
 "Oh, no; nothing is ever stolen. A mans upon his honor, you know; and, besides, is feller'd ever really steal anything out of a shack, the country'd soon be too hot to hold him. Anybody that comes to a shack hungry is expec- ted to go in and get square meal , and stay all night if he wants to,
 "Isn't that privilege often abusedY"
 No, hardly ever. Say, you'll find COW up at the ranch and you can milk her if you want to, There are plenty of eggs about the stable; if you want 'cm go for 'em. Just make yoursel, es at home, and stay as long as you like. I'll be glad to have yer company
 A few more remarks were ex- changed, and then our cowboy gathered up his reins and said
 "W ell, I've got to finish my cir cult, twenty .miles more, reckon, so 1 must be moving. So long. l'll see you at the ranch about sun down.
 And flinging inc last remark over his shoulder at us his pony galloped rapidly away; moment later he rode over the ridge and disappeared.

DIR. H. N. BROWN.

For the past two years, hundreds of people suffering with long standing chronic and ob- scure diseases which have proved incuIable by the old methods of treatment have been cured by the new scientific and rational sys- tenn practiced by Dr. H. N. Brown of 93 Olive street, New Haven. As many are in- terested and desire some reference regarding his ability to cure chronic diseases, he will report few cases and give few names by request and permission, who have tested the treatment and are pkepared to vouch for his unparalleled success, which has been acqulr- ed by long years of faithful study and expe- rience in this special branch.
 Mir. Frank Maurer, jr., 59 George street, c.r. of Orange, says: My wife was blind for five months and treated by oculists during that time without improvement and we both feel very grateful for the rapid and perma- nent cure by Dr. H. N. Brown and take great pleasure in recommending all afflicted, dis couraged and hopeless to call and be cured as she was.

 Fire has done destructive work in New Hampshire this year, the losses thus far amounting to $500, 900, three times as much as the losses for the whole of last year. One of the largest losses of the past four months was $150, 900 on the Cecheoo print works at Dover, and there have been other factory losses which were covered by risks in manu- facturers' mutual companies. In consequence of legislation two years ago insurance com panies outside of New Hampshire stopped taking risks there, and mutual and stock companies within the State have since done the insurance business there. So far the State companies have paid all losses in full without impairing their capital or making assessments, and the president of the New Hampshire Underwriters association says that he considers the danger from the with drawal of the outside companies as practical. ly over

DEATH OF OLD ssTULE DAD.,' A Remarkable Character We'll Known
 toOId Cal forRIans.

Red Bluff (Cal.) Cause.l
 Old ''Tule Dad," a remarkable old noun tain man, who early made name among the hunters and Indian fighters of the Sierras, crossed over to the golden shore about ten days ago at Jess valley, Modoc county, Cal. He had reached the age of 103 years, and died at last with mind unimpaired and wig orous as when he had but just passed his half century mark. "Tule Dad" was born somewhere in Missouri at the time St. Louis was the headquarters of several big fur trading companies. It was by enlisting as hunter with one of these tkat he found his way through the Rockies and eventually across the Sierras to California.
 'sTule Dad" is remembered by number of old Californians who are now in the Comstock. They looked upon him as being wonderful old man in the "days of 49," when gold was first discovered. He was a man who preferred hunting and Indian fighting to gold digging.
 A story is told of him which will bear re- beating. In the early days some men who were eamped on the banks of the Sacramento river, above Marysville, on the Fourth of July, concluded to celebrate the day. They began firing guns and pistols, and for an hour or tive kept up lively fusi1ade. Pres ently their attention was attracted to half 8 dozen black objects bobbing up and down on the waters of the river. As these objects drew nearer they were seen to be men swim ming across the stream with their clothing and guns on their heads. As soon as the swimmers got within hearing distance of the party on the shore the leader of them sang out: 'tWhar's the wars'
 That was old Tule Dad. He was then six ty-six years of age and was able to outswim even the youngest of his companions, es- pecially when he thought there was chance for bout with the reds. Such fights he looked upon AS regular, legitimate "war." seems been duck hunting on the opposite shore among the jules, and hearing the firing imagined that an Indian fight was going on. They therefore swan the river in order to take hand in the fun.
 The mans right name was Samuel K. Mat ney. He never married and the reason he gave for it was that he could not "split an armful of oven wood in half a minute" He said that the women always sang out that they "wanted an armful of wood in just half minute" Half minute he said was too short time for him. The old man was con scious to the last and was aware that his end was approaching. A few hours before his death he talked with those about him; he told that his race was nearly ended, but said that he was ready to go and remarked: 'tI anything worse than kill Indians, and I don't believe that will be held against me. I had to do it." The fact is that the old fel low had really no compunction in regard to shooting Indians. He got over that when trapper, and finally thought that in wiping the heathen off the face of the earth he was doing God 8 service.

A CoMmENDARLE CRUSADE.

CON M FEN DA 6L K CIR ID SAD
 There are great many movements" now adays in tbis country, some of which deserve attention and support while others do not. But there is one movement which men and women of all parties and classes can and should join in, and that is the movement ment has already gained encouraging head way. A meeting was held the other day in the Mercantile Exchange in New York, which was attended by large number of food man. ufacturers, distributors and others interested in pure food. Among those present was MT Frank Thurber, who said that he believed that reputable New York dealers would be purity on all articles of manufactured food It was resolved to ask the local associations of New York aud New Jersey to arrange for local and State rolls of honor containing the names of all wholesale merchants and manu- facturers whs would place themselves on record on the pure food question. Hundreds of firms are already enrolled. The State of New Jersey has just appropriated $1o. 900 to aid the enforcement of the Anti-Adulteration law. The retail groeers of Brooklyn, Yonkers, Long Island City, Nyack, Hoboken, Orange and Elizabethport have made extensive ar arrangements for the prosecution of the crusade against food swindles. In Pennsylvania the movement has already made great headway, and pure food associations are springing up all over the country, managed by the most reputable dealers.
 Some of those who have pro6ted by the adulteration of food have raised the cry that any attempt to prevent such adulteration is Gin restraint of trade" The New York Star very properly says to such: It would be 8 great aid to all honest trade, and honest traders to consider it. The public is entitled to protection against habitual cheating. We have 6 right to know the nature of the food we buy. The need of restrictive statute is greater now than heretofore for the reason that discovery has introduced many new adu1terants. Some of these are doubtless harmless. If so they will win their.way or But they must not be brought into consump tion at high price under the pretense oi being something better than they really are They must be sold under their own names al their proper values. This is the protection that consumers are entitled to.
 The movement for free land which nobody wants who cannot already have it might safe ly be permitted to rest while the crusade against adulterated and poisoned food is pushed. It is more important to be healthy than wealthy.
